All about squares....

Hi everyone! Even though life has settled down I have
found that getting back to what was my old routine has been more difficult than I thought. Everything is fine, my parents are settling in to their new
‘home’ and I’m no longer feeling like I’m
constantly on the go. Instead, I feel like I’ve gone from one extreme to the
other and my problem over these last few weeks has been getting myself motivated to
do anything!

About the only thing I have been feeling like doing is stitching and having felt like I was falling behind on A
Sampler Story that is what I've been working on.

First of all I
completed this square….

Then I figured the
next square looked like a quick stitch so I would keep working on it and, sure
enough, it took me no time at all to stitch this one…..

That meant I was
back on track to stitching the two squares for April. The next one turned out to be another quick
stitch…..

And by then I was
really feeling like I was on a roll and this is where I am on the next
square…..

By the end of April
I’ll have 8 squares completed and 16 to go!!!

Hope all is well
with you and yours. I still haven’t
managed to catch up with everyone’s blogs but hopefully that’s the next thing I
can get back on track with. Enjoy the
weekend whatever your plans!

I've been enjoying seeing your blocks appear on Instagram. Great stuff! You are really going now! I think it's natural for you to feel sort of shell shocked after the switch to being more relaxed and no longer rushing back and forth. Take your time, enjoy the extra time, and you will get back to feeling right with the world. :D

A Sampler Story looks like a fun project ... your stitching looks great! Hope your parents are happy and content in their new home. That was a blessing that everything quickly fell into place for all of you.

Good to hear you are trying to get back to normal and am sure you will Lois! Now you have less worries about your parents is nice. Love your sampler pieces, and seeing them come together;))Have a fabulous weekend;))

yup you are on a roll and really cute blocks they are too .... the reason is because you don't have to do anything your body has gone into megga chill mode .. enjoy and it will come back where you feel you will want to do a wee bit of housework ... :) love mouse xxxxxx

Wow, you really managed to catch up. Sampler Story looks great! I am sure you'll get back into your routine too. I finally have some time to myself and all I want to do is watch tv and stitch altho I should really try to keep up with the housework and tackle the closets! See...that doesn't sound fun at all. Ugh!

I'm so happy to hear your parents have settled in to their new place, Lois--what a relief!! And for you to have all of this extra time must feel like heaven!! Your sampler is so sweet and I particularly love the oranges block :)

Hope your week is off to a good start and that your days are warming up!

Lois even though sings are settling down it takes a bit to come down from always being in crisis mode. So glad your parents are settling into their new home. Give yourself time and stitch away ;-). Love your sampler piece. S
